Quotes by Neal Ford (?)

“Some presentation authors justify this by saying, “The photographer already knew it was going to be an uncredited effort and it really isn’t that hard to take a good photograph.”
― Neal Ford, Presentation Patterns: Techniques for Crafting Better Presentations

“The problem with a completely new programming paradigm isn’t learning a new lan‐
guage. After all, everyone reading this has learned numerous computer languages—
language syntax is merely details. The tricky part is learning to think in a different way.”
― Neal Ford, Functional Thinking: Paradigm Over Syntax
